- Summary:
- Researchers with the Peace Research Institute in the Middle East (formed after the 2000 Intifada outbreak) take a dual-narrative, getting to know rather than demonize the "other," approach to understanding the historical and cultural roots of the Israeli- Palestinian conflict. For example, side-by-side accounts view the creation of the state of Israel as a cause for celebration or as a catastrophe. Cited research on children's tolerance of opposing ideas offers some hope for peace in the region. The book includes maps, political cartoons, photographs, statistics, poetry commemorating the Intifada, and glossaries. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
